This repository contains a beginner-friendly STM32CubeIDE project that blinks an LED on an STM32F446RET6 microcontroller using the STM32 HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). This project is suitable for users new to embedded systems who wish to get started with basic LED control.
To start using this project, follow the steps outlined below. You will download the software and set it up on your development board, which will allow you to blink an LED.
-
Hardware
- STM32F446RET6 microcontroller.
- STM32 Nucleo board or similar compatible hardware.
- A compatible LED.
-
Software
- STM32CubeIDE installed on your computer.
- STM32CubeMX (optional, for configuration).
-
Operating System
- Windows, macOS, or Linux are supported.
To download the project, visit the Releases page. Here, you will find all versions of the software. Choose the latest release for the best features and updates.
- Go to the Releases page.
- Click on the release you want to download.
- Locate the downloadable file in the assets section and click to start the download.
Once the download completes, follow these steps to set up the project:
- Open STM32CubeIDE.
- Import the downloaded project by navigating to
File > Import > Existing Projects into Workspace. - Select the folder where you saved the project and click
Finish.
After installation, you are ready to run the project. Follow these simple steps:
- Connect your STM32F446RET6 microcontroller to your computer via USB.
- Ensure the LED is properly connected to the microcontroller.
- In STM32CubeIDE, select the project in the Project Explorer.
- Build the project by clicking on the hammer icon.
- Once built successfully, click the green run button to upload the project to the microcontroller.
The LED should start blinking as per the configurations in the project!
- Easy Installation: The project includes clear instructions for beginners.
- HAL Library: Utilizes the STM32 Hardware Abstraction Layer for straightforward coding.
- Real-time Blink: The LED blinks at a configurable interval, demonstrating a key concept in embedded programming.
